The vehicle category N1 with a body code BC subject to the kilometre charge in Belgium from 1 January 2018

The three Belgian regions have recently decided to subject the vehicle category N1 with a body code BC - semi-trailer tractors of 3.5 tons or less - to the payment of the kilometre charge in Belgium from 1 January 2018.

This means that, as of 1 January 2018, these vehicles will need to have a working On Board Unit (OBU) at all times and on all roads in order to be compliant with the Belgian kilometre charging regulations.

You can get this OBU from Satellic: either online via the Road User Portal (RUP), or by stopping at one of the more than 120 Satellic service points located in Belgium. If you need an OBU urgently, we recommend you to go to a service point.

Important: We recommend you however to not switch on the OBU on a Belgian public road before 1 January 2018! If the OBU is fixed installed in your truck, then you should "decouple" the OBU on the Road User Portal (RUP) till 1/1/18.

For more information on how to proceed and on which documents you need, please read our FAQ. The official communication is to be found on the Viapass website, and in this Viapass video.
